Its laziness pure and simple.

If you were really fed up with all your political options, why wouldn't you participate in the one thing that is your fundamental way of sending a message?

I realize that some people just aren't bothered with it...just be honest..don't make up some excuse about how you hate all candidates and all parties and all the broken promises. Because if you were really that offended by it all, you'd participate in it.

Its also kind of a lack of respect. I could never sit at home and watch "so you think you can dance" instead of participating in a process that people have died to ensure exists, and that others in some parts of the world could only dream of.
